SALISBURY — As temperatures decrease this afternoon, Delmarva drivers could experience a mix of snow and rain during their evening commute.

An estiamted 10-degree decrease in temperatures is expected to begin around 1 p.m. after which wet snow flakes may mix with raindrops.

“It’s a band of showers right now, but as the temperature falls some wet snowflakes will be mixing in; probably after 1 or 2 o’clock this afternoon,” said Mike Rusnack, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

The mix of participation is expected to continue through the evening commute. It should taper off around 6 p.m.

Lower Shore offices of the State Highway Administration are watching the weather, but Community Liaison Gee Williams said it isn’t likely they’ll have to salt roads or plow snow.

“There are no impacts expected on roadways,” Williams said. “Crews are geared up just in case weather takes and unforeseen change.”
